Justin Long

morning. businesses rate for good million the Jefferson know one $XXX you earlier. run called the EBITDA out and Thanks, the a in plus slides $XX from two over infrastructure referenced I next million you to years,

think a slide. I Transtar you gave the million of number for the $XXX in

add pieces, I up So, when we million. sounds decent it the like could be a fit above $XXX

thoughts as forecast each you you on different refresh on costs us contribution from of corporate the assets factored that maybe what if out well? as next are the of couple could I getting look and EBITDA wondering kind years was your of latest level So, just of the into

Joe Adams

absolutely. Yes

million, current total spot market that Ridge, million, does and $XXX of and million.

Justin Long

each of growth? for leverage invest wanted now? from year like thinking you but post-spin you know slides, about the gave ask to I two for businesses how the forma in next to each you And I secondly, in that these targeted target, based And entity for pro week. debt are businesses that the about a numbers the you Perfect. have on the feel capacity what’s

Joe Adams

probably So BB for maintaining times four the neighborhood ratio somewhere times to aviation, five targeting EBITDA. of and the to we’re debt in

up So it is, I go to there’s capacity, this comfortable EBITDA. think But think, point. at grow I as we’re we where

Ken Nicholson

would it’s infrastructure, something business, the of generally it’s a in we sort Long that The businesses for obviously in of, investment business growth. five do A of of to eligible and say what Ridge. in ratio at the slightly I and exempt four tax we potentially in now. Jefferson. And smaller, Repauno for even infrastructure terms use the that’s target. infrastructure terms same beauty And times the But lot we’ve ratios, right financing, is EBITDA can for terms capital at used of of historically

debt will obviously smart rate the the for an than, traditional twos tax a successful X and I’m would we’ll, past lower growing where markets be, in been we’ve incurring in by investment so, exempt a market be. Phase more and significantly as be not this will would the rate still of high accessing average sure it’ll Repauno example, environment, rate, current taxable but at be debt. similar markets. be about, our And Jefferson, And in But the capacity through borrowing disciplined is,

debt same times incur four attractive projects five but at So, I levels. time, maintain at to a, to for we times the specific feel like ratio, leverage can continue

Justin Long

Got it. time. the Thanks for

Operator

question from next Stifel. our take We’ll with Galanti Frank

Frank Galanti

wanted business. up Yes. congratulations maintenance Hi engine on and be to questions my thanks able program. for to spend financing I follow done the the the to taking Infrastructure getting

from sort you about that in simply full keep entails were portion. should we that an up using the you when is and engines a maintenance then Can mentioned unit what talk economics that the physically do, of And think you had you about perspective? that so of sold economics how the module then sort to factory Montreal? is how of economic, or couple able services the So, overhaul

Joe Adams

a It’s good Sure. question.

it is to sell of engines how new for So we’ve, works we needed. that leases, and the to provide owner replacement agree life the aircraft when the those

and that return, and in engine requirements take is available engine cycles of in the is a minimum So hours visit shop meets due visit, when a swap. we engine needs an that the would for exchange a shop

the along in And airline can we’re becomes in module is then what do reserves the factory engine maintenance the or doing We full And we’re either our or the it engine. economics, an the so that that overhaul put way. the for sell in engine collecting meantime, from it.

the per So on cost side could we transaction. is could, generate million that out our we an given the additional per dollars that aircraft, way advantage with price we through it maintenance year

the So something owner. it’s a Obviously or not outcomes capable it’s experienced had attractive voluntarily is managing and everybody’s attractive those new on. for very for because or doing good engine us events has they’re it, also

profit our ability products think service it’s something So, – generated we of a provide of to we can at example and because it’s competitive then that significant a our advantage. proprietary

So, very exciting.

of world’s think very opens XX% is fleet it owned very, because large market, up the leasing I a by companies.

spend was area an try as out, that that’s grow important to profit for – and looked time So us we to to and from. to

to this significant is do pretty way that a on a so And scale.

Frank Galanti

about that ask is it’s sort put those that path, to interest Great. developed picking the customer wanted That’s that I correctly, of factory. assumption inception business? And my that to to there expand I that? the any move about of module have helpful. XX there’s And super the there put then aviation past that you services? in. and up. are And sort to since on modules or originally guys you of three in about But way, that remember talk then guess I so Can interest the is get continue needs engines more need If was into

Joe Adams

is, the mean, of as modules. volume yes, terms we’re scale, I turning and in doing Well, would grows what probably we’re obviously we

number module factory increase would business we the modules grows. of the as in So, the

many I very market it while demands. them as takes we they spent XXXX a we’ve have right are And needs this, we’ve and finding airlines for educating time in got, with time week users, to growth We we’re but mentioned, seeing building with based many, airlines spending that are are broad and and each now. backlog

maintenance a a of buy the been and to there’s LPT. been to of shops acceptance say fan to would the never So, very, doing I the level have based sell, very broad we’re regularly, seeing shops. place they They had go or a on these buy they’re to this in because easier business an much for of never many airline

then generate, for income companies, is the this to now own I they now So this we’re compensation. that then and mentioned, seeing leasing additional maintenance for leasing just they’re can as use companies something recognizing their the And use shop. return

lease you if of a cash. have member certain, don’t, they and end the provide engine back. with the the airline. pay cycles comp they at hours an And to So of issues often have return airline minimum to The has
